BASKETBALL Trying their best to compile as good a record as the Gridiron Gang, the Blue and Gold basketball team piled up a record of 17 wins and 7 losses. The Marcos grabbed the championship in the first year of the Black- hawk Conference and tied Morrison for a share in the Rock River Confer- ence championship.
